2 years ago, I was looking for a specific, USED, car in a specific color with front drive ONLY, no AWD.
I found it in Fort Meyers and brought it home when we went to Homosassa that Feb for vacation.

I am calling Dealers as far away as Long Island New York, and nothing. Most All the Escalade ESV's that show up on the Cadillac.com web site as "In Transit" are Sold orders. I talked to a really nice Sales Manager at a dealer in Mt. Pleasant Mi. and he said Cadillac does that, Not the dealer. He will sell me a loaded one for window sticker, but It's Blue with light Parchment interior and I have my mind set on Black / Black. We'll see, I find more out from 3 local dealers this Tuesday.

Maybe call into Chicago Motor Cars (ask for Mood) and Illinois Motors (ask for Regis) and see if they can locate one?

Glad you found one, hope it's as trouble-free as my '21 Tahoe has been.

----Love your new ride, Bill! With that said I hope that "most technical" part doesn't bite you in the a++! I have a few mid-2000's Mercedes that I can't figure out how to even program the clock. Would a knob be too much to ask? I probably would pay extra for a car or truck with less "tech", but then again some of my marbles may have already left the bowl!.....Bill S
